Country music superstars Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks and George Strait will be among the magnificent seven recipients of special Milestone trophies at the upcoming Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards in Texas. Officials of the Academy will be handing out 50th Anniversary Milestone Awards to seven of the annual prizegiving's biggest winners.

The seven honoured artists have set records with wins at the ACMs - Strait has won 21 prizes over four consecutive decades, and duo Brooks & Dunn have raked in the most trophies with 27.
The prizes will be handed out during the 50th annual ACM Awards on 19 April (15).

Some of the greatest and most memorable movie quotes of all time were completely unplanned. Don't believe us? Take a look at 20 of our favorites below and see for yourself:
1. Annie Hall
reddit.com
Woody Allen's famous sneeze as his character, Alvy Singer, picks up a box of cocaine at a party, and after finding out that it's $2,000 an ounce, he asks what the appeal is...before sneezing all of the powder away into its owner's face. The sneeze was not scripted, believe it or not. The moment tested well with audiences and the other actors in the scene reacted so perfectly to it that Allen decided to keep it.
2. Titanic
GIPHY/peculiargroove.tumblr.com
Perhaps one of the film's most memorable lines, Leonardo DiCaprio's feeling of invincibility would never have been captured had he not ad-libbed the line, "I'm king of the world!" Titanic has other improvised moments as well, like the scene where Jack teaches Rose to spit and when Rose spits in Cal's face.
3. Being John Malkovich
coed.com
Though this moment is contested somewhat, we still love the story. A few extras allegedly snuck some beer onto the set to make the most of long hours of filming. One such extra, who was (may or may not have been) supposed to throw something at actor John Malkovich's head from a passing vehicle, shouted "think fast," making the scene even funnier. Rumor has it that because of the line's inclusion, the extra had to receive a generous pay raise, all because of a drunken addition to the movie.
4. Blade Runner
GIPHY/koy44nisqats1.tumblr.com
As Blade Runner, a film about a bounty hunter seeking androids to "retire," reaches its conclusion, its main character, Rick Deckard, is saved by the android he is supposed to kill. Right before preparing to die, the android, Roy Batty, gives a monologue reflecting on his past experiences. Though the monologue was indeed scripted, actor Rutger Hauer added the beautiful phrase, "like tears in rain."
5. Taxi Driver
GIPHY/thegoodfilms.com
The script said "Travis talks to himself in the mirror." Robert De Niro took care of the rest. Because of this, we're left with one of the best lines in movie history, one of the greatest performances of all time, and the best idea for a theme party ever.
6. Dumb and Dumber
gifsoup.com
The original script featured the titular idiots to argue over jelly beans in order to test the nerves of the hitman they unknowingly picked up as a hitchhiker. Since this is a movie with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, it evolved into something altogether different. The most annoying sound in the world was, for better or for worse, entirely improvised.
7. Good Will Hunting
GIPHY/mattybing1025.tumblr.com
Robin Williams received his first and only Oscar for his dramatic role in Good Will Hunting. You may be able to take Robin Williams out of the comedy, but you can't keep the comedy out of him, and thus, in the midst of a pivotal scene in the movie, Williams broke into an unplanned story about his wife's flatulence. Matt Damon's uncontrollable laughter is genuine, as are the moments the camera shakes because of the cameraman's laughter. That's a magical movie moment.
8. Goodfellas
picslist.com
The most memorable moment of Martin Scorsese's 1990 mobster movie is easily Joe Pesci's refusal to be called funny. This line was allegedly ad-libbed and inspired by a real incident where Pesci called a not-very-pleasant gangster funny.
9. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
rhube.tumblr.com
Hardcore Star Wars fans may know this bit already: the famous Han Solo moment where he tells Princess Leia "I know" wasn't scripted. The line was originally written as "I love you too," but didn't seem to fit into character. Harrison Ford suggested they change it to something a little more in line with Han Solo's personality, and thus, the greatest response to "I love you" was born.
10. Pretty Woman
GIPHY/peculiargroove.tumblr.com
In a gloriously unscripted moment, Richard Gere's character was supposed to present Julia Roberts with a stunning diamond necklace, but instead playfully snapped the bling box closed. The unplanned move, and Roberts' perfect reaction to it, was so honest and fit the film so well, director Garry Marshall kept it in the finished version.
11. Raiders of the Lost Ark
taringa.net
The epic sword fight that was scheduled for this scene (or perhaps it was a whip vs. sword situation) was ignored entirely in favor of this easier-to-film scene. The moment, when Indiana Jones just nonchalantly pulls out his pistol and does away with the swordsman, wasn't scripted. Spielberg agreed to do it to make filming easier for Harrison Ford, who was feeling a bit under the weather at the time. Thus, movie history was born.
12. Zoolander
luisllamas.tumblr.com
After David Duchovny's character explains to Ben Stiller's Derek Zoolander why male models have been behind every political assassination of the last 200 years, Stiller forgot the line he was supposed to stay in true Zoolander fashion, so he just repeated his previous line, "Why male models?" This prompted Duchovny's equally funny ad-lib, "Are you serious? I just told you that a moment ago..."
13. The Godfather
perezhilton.com
The Godfather has a scene where Peter Clemenza is heading out to whack Paulie, but before he does, his wife asks him to pick up some cannolis. While the scene following Paulie's death was originally scripted as just "Leave the gun," Clemenza added a bit of humor and continuity to the film by adding the second part.
14. The Shining
rebloggy.com
Stanley Kubrick's iconic adaptation of the Stephen King classic features the ad-libbed line "Here's Johnny!" Jack Nicholson improvised this line after chopping his way through the door and sticking his face in. The quote, referencing Johnny Carson's immensely popular late night show's introduction, added a bit of humor to an incredibly terrifying moment. It also, strangely, made the moment way creepier too.
15. Jaws
motherjones.com
Really, though, there was nothing else to be said. After seeing the shark for the first time, this unscripted moment was the only logical reaction a person could have. And now it's legendary.
16. The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up
moviefancentral.com
The extremely memorable, easy-to-imitate moments from both of these films were ad-libbed entirely by stars Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. Director Judd Apatow had enough faith in both comedians to allow them to go on for several minutes in an unedited clip. The scenes may get a little annoying, but they are undeniably funny.
17. Midnight Cowboy
imoviequotes.com
Legend has it that this NYC cab ignored the indications that a movie was shooting on this street and drove down anyway. Dustin Hoffman's brilliant reaction was genuine and in character, and the rest is history.
18. Casablanca
GIPHY
Arguably the most iconic line in the entire film, this one was ad-libbed by Humphrey Bogart during filming. Apparently, it's something he would say to Ingrid Bergman while teaching her poker between takes.
19. The Silence of the Lambs
GIPHY/reddit.com
While the line about eating a census taker's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti may have been in the script (as well as the book), the terrifying slurping hiss Anthony Hopkins lets out next was certainly not. It was left in the film because, hello, it's totally the creepiest thing a cannibal could do after discussing a meal.
20. Caddyshack
GIPHY/seen-on-the-screen.tumblr.com
Bill Murray, as surely everyone knows, can do literally anything. He's the greatest. Clearly director Harold Ramis knew that too -- the script for Caddyshack featured a scene where Murray's character Carl emulates a kid announcing his fantasy sports moment. Murray simply asked for four rows of mums, and boom! Movie magic.

Lady Gaga is opening up about her recent engagement to actor beau Taylor Kinney for the first time, revealing he proposed to her with a candy ring. The Chicago Fire star popped the question to his longtime girlfriend on Valentine's Day (14Feb15), but before presenting her with an impressive diamond engagement ring, he jokingly pulled out a fake jewel made out of hard candy.
The pop star tells Access Hollywood, "First he gave me a Ring Pop. That was kind of amazing and I was crying, I was so excited. I said, 'Yes!' right away and then he pulled out the heart-shaped diamond. First it was candy. I was happy with the candy."
The ring Kinney eventually put on Gaga's finger was custom designed by himself and celebrity jeweller Lorraine Schwartz. It boasts a large heart-shaped diamond, along with white diamonds on the band that spell out 'T (loves) S', a nod to Gaga's real name, Stefani Germanotta.
Gaga, who met Kinney when he played her love interest in the music video for her single You and I, adds that she always knew he was the one.
She says, "From the moment I met him, my heart was with him. The engagement makes everything better. When you're in love and have love it makes everything better."

Pop superstar Lady Gaga has confirmed reports of her engagement to actor Taylor Kinney after he proposed to her on Valentine's Day (14Feb15). The singer has been dating Kinney since 2011, after he played her onscreen love interest in her You and I video, and now they are preparing to exchange vows.
The actor popped the question to Gaga on Saturday (14Feb15), the most romantic day of the year, and they then celebrated at his future in-laws' restaurant, Joanne Trattoria, in New York City.
Gaga was all smiles as she stepped out in the Big Apple on Sunday (15Feb15), when she was snapped wrapped up in a big purple fur coat, carefully hiding her new ring as she placed her right hand over her left.
After the news of her engagement broke online on Monday (16Feb15), the star took to her Instagram.com page and shared a photo of her heart-shaped diamond ring with fans.
She captioned the black-and-white snap, "He gave me his heart on Valentine's Day, and I said YES!"
The Poker Face hitmaker recently admitted she would say yes if Kinney did propose, telling U.S. shock jock Howard Stern, "He is the right guy. How do we know? It's this feeling..."

Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi is engaged. The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon star is set to wed her musician boyfriend Wang Feng, according to Chinese media reports.
Feng popped the question during the actress' 36th birthday party in a very modern way - he attached the diamond ring to a white drone, and flew the aerial vehicle in as he got down on one knee to propose.
This will be Ziyi's first marriage, while rock star Feng has been married twice before.

Eva Longoria has dismissed rumors her boyfriend proposed during a festive break in Colombia.
The former Desperate Housewives star has been dating Jose 'Pepe' Antonio Baston, the president of Latin American TV and media company Televisa, for more than a year and recent reports suggested they were preparing to step their relationship up a gear. The gossip went into overdrive over the holidays when Longoria was spotted wearing a diamond ring on her left hand after a vacation in South America, sparking rumors her partner had popped the question at a New Year's Eve party, but the actress is adamant it was all a big misunderstanding.
She tells U.S. news show Extra, "There's not (a new ring on my finger)... You know, it's so funny... I can see where people thought this was true because on New Year's (Eve) I wore white, because my black dress didn't fit and I just took my back-up dress which just happened to be white. Then because of the flight... I wear a ring on (my index finger), but I had to move it to (my ring finger) because I was so swollen from the flight. "Then we dedicated a song to our friends who are getting engaged, the song was called... Will You Marry Me but we dedicated it to Britney and Gary, but it was all in Spanish... So I was like I can totally see (why) people think that that happened... because I had the ring, the white dress, the song..."
Longoria goes on to reiterate the jewelry is definitely not an engagement ring, adding, "I wear (the ring) all the time. It's just a Martin Katz ring that I've had forever."

Nick Cannon is helping to keep a New York City children's hospital open by donating the $2 million (£1.25 million) diamond-encrusted loafers he recently wore on the America's Got Talent finale to board executives.
The actor, rapper and TV host had the pricey pair specially made by designer Jason Arashenen, with each shoe boasting more than 14,000 full-cut diamonds set in white gold, with a weight of 340 carats. Cannon showed off the fancy fashion during the last episode of America's Got Talent's ninth season in September (14) and he has since handed them over to the St. Mary's Hospital for Children in Queens, New York. The shoes are expected to be auctioned off at a later date. Cannon has been working on fundraisers with medical centre bosses for some time and he insists he is happy to help out where he can. He says, "I'm on the board for St. Mary's so we're gonna do it for the children in those hospitals and save some hospitals." He adds, "(I want) to keep this children's hospital going. It's one of the oldest children's hospitals in New York. You go in there and it puts everything in a proper perspective. You see all that they're going through and that they can still have a smile on their face. I get so much out of it."

America’s Got Talent host Nick Cannon and Dancing With The Stars judge Julianne Hough teamed up with Samsung to smash the Guinness World Record for the longest selfie relay chain with 283 consecutive selfies. The event was to promote Samsung’s next generation of digital cameras - the new NX line. The cameras are slimmer, sleeker and have the ability to connect to smartphones. Samsung gave out 300 of their brand new cameras as they called for people to "Ditch the DSLR" in exchange for the new Samsung devices. Samsung also donated $50,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Greater LA as part of the event. Click here to find out more about Samsung's new digital cameras.

Despite his pending divorce to Mariah Carey - which seems to be getting ugly - Cannon is “getting out there" with seemingly endless projects he has keeping him busy. Cannon just wrapped the 9th season of America’s Got Talent alongside judges Howard Stern, Heidi Klum, Howie Mandel and Mel B. The winner, magician Mat Franco, was awarded $1 million and a headlining show in Las Vegas. Cannon is all for a magician winning the talent competition show, saying: “There’s so many other singing competitions and dance shows out there. For someone like a magician to be able to come through and win $1 million, it shows you what the show’s all about - it could be any talent. I mean, he was the best and most talented person that America saw. So, therefore, he took it all the way, and I think it was well deserved.”
It seems like keeping busy is the best way to keep his mind off his marriage troubles. He has a new standup comedy show for Showtime called F#ck Nick Cannon, an album White People Party Music (the new music video for "Looking For a Dream" is quite exceptional by the way). Oh, and he’s writing a children’s book based on his and Carey’s twins Roc &amp; Roe. He also recently rocked the most expensive pair of shoes ever - a $2 million pair of diamond loafers - marking two Guinness world records he's broken. Not too shabby. This guy is certainly not moping around while his soon to be ex-wife is on a world tour.
Cannon also has a couple works that are under the radar. He’s going to be bringing Robin Leach's Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous back to TV. And he recently partnered with Maxim - he’ll be taking over the magazine’s content as well as heading strategic events. “I’ll be doing my thing… so that’s kinda cool.” Keep doing your thing, Cannon. It’s very cool indeed.
Cannon also stars on BET’s Real Husbands of Hollywood alongside Kevin Hart, Nelly, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin and J.B. Smoove. "The fakest reality show on TV" just premiered its third season. Catch new episodes of the hilarious show Tuesday nights at 10 p.m. on BET.

America's Got Talent host Nick Cannon wore a pair of diamond encrusted loafers worth $2 million (£1.3 million) for the show's finale on Wednesday (17Sept14).
The presenter showed off the $2 million (£1.3 million) footwear on in a picture posted on Women's Wear Daily's Instagram page ahead of the reality TV installment, writing, "A million each foot... Pow!" The shoes hold more than 14,000 full-cut diamonds set in white gold with a weight of 340 carats and were created by Jason Arashenen. The designer reveals Cannon approached him about the special project in 2013, saying, "Not very often do I get a request for the most expensive shoes in the world. When Nick approached me last year, he said he wanted to make history and be so over-the-top. He wanted to set a new standard in diamonds."
The pricey shoes are being considered by Guinness Book of World Records officials to be listed as the Most Valuable Pair of Shoes in the world. Cannon split from his superstar wife Mariah Carey last month (Sep14).

Elvis Presley's last Cadillac car and a 1975 guitar are among the items going under the hammer at Graceland during the estate's annual Elvis Week. Every year, the rock and roll icon's legacy is celebrated at his former home in Memphis, Tennessee, and as part of the 10-day event, 72 of his personal items will be auctioned off next month (14Aug14).
Among the lots up for sale is a 1976 Cadillac Seville - the last one Presley purchased before his death in 1977 - a 1975 Martin D-28 guitar, a signed library card, the original script for his movie Love Me Tender, a 1969 Las Vegas show agreement, and the gemstone and diamond encrusted lion mask pendant and chain worn by the singer when he met U.S. President Richard Nixon at the White House in 1970.
Third-party collectors will also be auctioning off items, including a Bonhams sale at the Quail Lodge Auction in California on 15 August (14), which will feature Presley's Rolls-Royce Phantom V limousine. The luxury vehicle, which boasts a state-of-the-art radio, air-conditioning and a car phone, is expected to sell for an estimated $300,000 (£176,471).
